Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1014 — the Prophet ﷺ said: Sayyid al-Istighfar
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ : نَا حَفْصٌ قَالَ : نَا مُرَجَّى بْنُ رَجَاءٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ بُشَيْرِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ .
عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ ، وَأَبُوءُ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَ مَا يُمْسِي ، فَمَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَإِنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَ مَا يُصْبِحُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ .
عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : سَيِّدُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ أَنْ تَقُولَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ ، وَأَبُوءُ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَ مَا يُمْسِي ، فَمَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ ، وَإِنْ قَالَهَا بَعْدَ مَا يُصْبِحُ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sayyid al-Istighfar (the most excellent formula of seeking forgiveness) is that you say: 'Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, wa abu'u bini'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u bidhanbi, faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa anta' (O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god worthy of worship except You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I abide by Your covenant and promise as much as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You).
So whoever says these words after evening falls and dies that very night enters Paradise, and whoever says them in the morning after waking from his sleep enters Paradise."
